The oldest olive tree in the world is located not far from Albania

The oldest olive tree in the world is located in the village of Ano Vouves of Kissamos in Chania, Crete. This ancient tree is 3,000 years old, as defined by the international scientific community.

The ancient olive tree in Vouves has a trunk with a perimeter of 12.5 meters and a diameter of 4.6 meters. It belongs to the native tsounati tree variety and is grafted to a height of three meters on a wild olive tree.

Because of this grafting, its trunk has taken on such a beautiful shape from nature that it resembles a sculpture. In 1990, following a unanimous decision in the prefecture of Chania, the Vouves Olive Tree was declared a Natural Monument of special importance, due to its status as the world's oldest tree of its kind.

This old tree continues to produce high quality olives

The fruits of the ancient olive tree produce the best olive oil in the world, making this area the cradle of olive cultivation on the island of Crete. The trunk of the tree is now empty, so the olive is renewed from the outside and the inside of the trunk gradually rots.

Since the olive tree is constantly renewing its wood, it has served as a symbol of immortality since ancient times.

Thousands of tourists visit this tree every summer to learn its history.

They are mainly impressed by the large shape and imposing volume of the trunk, but also the fact that this tree has continued to resist and produce olives for 3,000 years. The area where this tree is located, including the entire hill with several villages, has thousands of olive trees. These villages are widely believed to produce the best olive oil in the world.

Why is the olive tree important in Greece?

The olive tree has been associated with the history of Greece for thousands of years. It symbolizes peace and prosperity, as well as the hope of resurrection and prosperous life. The Mediterranean landscape of Greece is full of these trees, and the Greeks for many centuries have been inextricably linked to this plant.

To the ancient Greeks, the olive tree was one of the two most revered mythical trees, along with the oak. This love and this deep-rooted respect has survived among the Greeks for many centuries.
